The Mouse Genome Database (MGD) project includes data on gene characterization, nomenclature, mapping, gene homologies among mammals, sequence links, phenotypes, allelic variants and mutants, and strain data.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Mouse Genome Informatics should match this regular expression:
^\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

6017782   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Mouse Genome Informatics should match this regular expression:
^mgi:\d+$

Example CURIE

mgi:6017782

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource annotates the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. This means that you may see local unique identifiers that include a redundant prefix and delimiter (also known as a banana) and therefore look like a CURIE. For Mouse Genome Informatics, the banana looks like MGI:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like MGI:6017782 (instead of the canonical form 6017782) and CURIEs for this resource that look like mgi:MGI:6017782 (instead of the canonical form mgi:6017782). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 12 mappings to external registries for mgi with 6 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE mgi:6017782 is used to demonstrate the provides available for mgi. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
